I've considered this myself.  While I haven't seen any type of microphone
from Lego, it would be trivial to attach a condencer mike to the RCX, and
just tell the software it's a light sensor.  I don't think this would work
for predator/prey applications because the motors would be easily
detectable, but it would be difficult to determine which robot was making
the noise, unless you put a motorized clicker or other noise maker on one
of the robots.

What I think would be a better plan is for lego to make a microphone(if they don'e already) for use in conjuction with the 'predator/prey' kit. The motors make quite a racket that should be easily detectable. trowt -----Original Message----- From: (...) (28 years ago, 2-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
